Since warning of the global warming by carbon dioxide, the biomass distribution of forest has been concerned and its study has been requested. Much expectation has focused on the remote sensing corresponding to wide area. We noticed small area and estimated the spatial distribution of the forest volume using the actual GIS and remote sensing data. We comprehended the spatial distribution of the...

Title of Thesis : System Performance Criteria in CDMA Networks Using Gold codes Yong H. Kim, M. S. E. E., 1988 Thesis directed by : Dr. Joseph Frank Associate Professor Department of Electrical Engineering First, we have presented the autocorrelation and crosscorrelation properties for periodic and aperiodic binary sequences. The generation of binary sequences using shift registers with feedbac...

Such mawkish passages recur with numbing frequency through this record of eighteen months in the life of an American, white, middle class, midwest girl who is fifteen when the book begins. Her father is the unnamed Dean of an unnamed American University; they live in a lovely Spanish style house with walls of thick dark wood and two steps down into a sunken living room. One can imagine. Her mot...

OBJECTIVE Observational research suggests that placing graphic images on cigarette warning labels can reduce smoking rates, but field studies lack experimental control. Our primary objective was to determine the psychological processes set in motion by naturalistic exposure to graphic vs. text-only warnings in a randomized clinical trial involving exposure to modified cigarette packs over a 4-w...

You cannot dispute the warning of England’s chief medical officer, Sally Davies, that antibiotic resistance is one of modern health’s greatest threats. Also beyond dispute is her analysis of its causes—the lack of new drugs combined with massive overuse of existing antibiotics. What physicians and policy makers generally overlook, however, is the critical role played by the ongoing overuse of a...

A key component of the World Health Organization's (WHO's) Global HIV Drug Resistance (HIVDR) prevention and assessment strategy is to monitor HIVDR early-warning indicators (EWIs), which provide strategic information for HIVDR containment. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)/WHO supported implementation of HIVDR EWI monitoring in 16 Caribbean countries. Results from 15 countries were a...

This paper describes a smart bushfire monitoring system that can provide an early warning message in case of a bushfire. The system utilises short message service through global system for mobile (GSM) communication technology as a medium of communication. The device is composed of a temperature and humidity sensors that are connected to a microcontroller. The microcontroller also interfaces wi...

A system to optimize the management of global space-weather observation networks has been developed by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). Named the WONM (Wide-area Observation Network Monitoring) system, it enables data acquisition, transfer, and storage through connection to the NICT Science Cloud, and has been supplied to observatories for supporting s...

Fostered by and embedded in the general development of information and communications technology (ICT), the evolution of tsunami warning systems (TWS) shows a significant development from seismic-centred to multisensor system architectures using additional sensors (e.g. tide gauges and buoys) for the detection of tsunami waves in the ocean. Currently, the beginning implementation of regional ts...
